I bought the first pair in a physical store and tried them on there. They fit perfectly.
So naturally, when I decided I wanted a second pair, I ordered the exact same model in the exact same size online.
Today I finally tried on the second pair.
Yeah… no.
There is not even remotely enough room. They feel like they were made for someone two sizes smaller.
Same model.
Same size.
Completely different reality.
Then I checked the labels.
One pair was made in Indonesia.
The other was made in China.
Apparently Puma has decided that “same size” is more of a philosophical suggestion than an actual measurement.
So now I own two pairs of the same shoes: one that fits, and one that apparently belongs to a completely different human being.
10/10 quality control.
Would definitely trust the size chart again
